Depends on what line it was and what you did to it.  Tell us exactly what you did, maybe even show us the file you edited. There might be a simple fix.

Your modified script works fine here. Good job.  You can change the update interval in gkrellm settings. Default is 15 min.

Thanks! I forgot about that - 2020.

If that's the aptitude equivalent of apt-get install task-desktop task-kde-desktop then it should work.

Yes, I tried that before and after allowing javascript. It didn't work. I can never see twitter, either. Just a big blue bird. Maybe my computer is trying to protect me from what's there.

Whoa. To paraphrase the late rickh: Are you sure you're running devuan? That looks more like antix.

It might be faster and easier to solve the problem you're having with miyo's i3 isos. Installing it should only take about 10 minutes. What did you try, and what happened? Are you able to boot the iso on a usb or optical disk?

You found the newest version of firefox-esr that's in stretch/ascii. It's been there a few days. I expect it'll be no more than a few days before the second patch migrates down.

There is no firefox in stretch or ascii. Never was, never will be.

Both firefox and firefox-esr are in the unstable branch (sid/ceres) and it looks like they've both been patched.

If you need the latest version right away, you can always get it directly from mozilla and just unpack it and run it. That's a more conservative choice than upgrading to ceres.

Since it works for the other user, it's not a problem with fluxbox or xorg. It's a problem with the first user account. It could be some other hidden file in that user's home or it could be something to do with permissions or authentication for that user. Did you change anything in pam or polkit configs? Something else?

I don't think editing the conky configs could do what happened. Something else had to happen around the same time. That's why I suggested looking in the command histories. Maybe you did something that you don't recall right now. (I do that all the time.) Just run history as root and as user, and look at the commands around when you edited conky.

Fixed.

thunderbird:

I'm confused. In one post it looks like you said you created a new user and it worked, and in another post you said you didn't create a new user.

Anyway, maybe you should take a look in both root and user's command history to review what you actually did when you edited the conky config.

Is your home partition full? 

df -h

Note the dot in .Xauthority. That makes it a hidden file.

ls -la

Will show you all your files in home as well as who owns them.

Try removing .Xauthority first. If that doesn't fix it, you can start deleting user configs. Those can be found in a hidden directory - ~/.config. The nuclear option is to delete all of .config, and then you'd be logging in like a new user. (i.e. any of your custom desktop settings or desktop-application settings would be lost.)
